Today is a bigger day for sporting events in Chicago and Milwaukee – although the Bulls, Blackhawks and Bucks are not playing. There are five events to choose from including horse or greyhound racing at three tracks.

1) Northwestern Men’s Basketball vs. Robert Morris in an exhibition game at Welsh-Ryan Arena in Evanston, IL. Game starts at 7 pm (CT).
2) UIC Women’s Basketball vs. University of Chicago in an exhibition game at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, IL. Game starts at 7 pm (CT).
3) Milwaukee Admirals vs. Chicago Wolves at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, WI. Game starts at 7 pm (CT).
4) Rockford IceHogs vs. San Antonio Rampage at MetroCentre in Rockford, IL. Game starts at 7 pm (CT).
5) UWM Men’s Basketball vs. Cardinal Stritch in an exhibition game at U.S. Cellular Arena in Milwaukee, WI. Game starts at 7 pm (CT).

In addition, you can attend thoroughbred horse racing at Hawthorne Racecourse in Cicero, IL (post time 1:20 pm), harness racing at Balmoral Park in Crete, IL (post time 7:20 pm) or greyhound racing at Dairyland Greyhound Park in Kenosha, WI (post time 1:00 pm).

The games above are ranked in the order I would prioritize the sporting events – mainly based on distance from my house. Since I bought Northwestern men’s basketball season tickets yesterday I am planning to attend the Northwestern exhibition game versus Robert Morris tonight.
